Growing up in foster care, Simone Biles' gymnastics training was an anchor in her life. An energetic child, she loved to tumble and spin in the air at gymnastics class, and began her career as an athlete aged just 14. By 19, she had won four gold medals for the USA. Despite the hardships, she has faced them all to become one of the greatest athletes of all time, and an advocate for mental health awareness. This book tells the story of one of the most decorated gymnasts of all time.
